CAIRO - 11October 2017: Dr. Osama El-Abd, Head of Religious and Endowments Affairs Committee in the Parliament, condemned the storming of the Ibrahimi Mosque by the Israeli settlers in Hebron and El-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem under tight Zionist security forces.

Al-Abd commented on the incident, saying that the Zionist occupation continues its violations of the religious sanctities, adding that international, Islamic and Arab communities should take decisive action to put an end to such activities. According to Al-Abd, Israel’s violations against the Palestinians and their lack of respect for the sanctity of El-Aqsa Mosque has reached its peak.

The head of the religious committee denounced banning the entry of a number of Holy School students to Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli forces under the pretext of having the Palestinian flag on their scout clothes.

The Israeli settlers have continued to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque in the past few days until the number of the settlers who entered the mosque today reached 312, where the incursions were carried out by the Mughrabi Gate through small groups who carried out suspicious and provocative tours in the blessed mosque.
